Golf-course, golf park and associated method of playing a golf game

Abstract

A golf course has a single fairway with multiple greens. At least two greens are provided, at opposite ends of the fairway. One or more additional greens may be provided between the first two greens and along the fairway. Also, multiple tees are provided for the one fairway. At least one tee is provided at each end of the fairway, the tee facing down the fairway towards the green at the opposite end of the fairway. Each green may be the target of two or more tees disposed at different locations on the fairway. The golf course is occupied for a predetermined limited period of time by an individual or a single group of golfers. The individual or single group of golfers plays back and forth along the fairway, for as long as they have reserved the course. They can play at their own pace, undisturbed by other golfers because there are no other golfers on the course. The only limitation is duration: eventually they will have to stop because their reserved interval of play has terminated.

What is claimed is:  
     
       1. A golf course comprising: 
       a fairway having a first end and a second end;  
       a plurality of greens disposed at mutually spaced locations along said fairway for play from said fairway, said greens being fewer in number than nine, said plurality of greens including a first green disposed at said first end of said fairway for play from said fairway, said plurality of greens further including a second green disposed at said second end of said fairway for play from said fairway, said plurality of greens additionally including at least one third green disposed along said fairway intermediate between said first green and said second green; and  
       a plurality of tees disposed at a plurality of different locations in effective proximity to said fairway to enable play onto said fairway towards respective ones of said first green, said second green and said third green, said tees including:  
       a first tee disposed approximately at said first end of said fairway for play onto said fairway towards said second green;  
       a second tee disposed approximately at said second end of said fairway for play onto said fairway towards said first green;  
       a third tee disposed approximately at said third green for play onto said fairway towards said first green;  
       a fourth tee disposed approximately at said third green for play onto said fairway towards said second green; and  
       an additional tee disposed approximately at said first end of said fairway for play onto said fairway towards said second green, said additional tee and said first tee being disposed on opposite sides of said first green so that said first green is sandwiched between said additional tee and said first tee, thereby providing a player with a different hole from said first end of said fairway to said second green, said first tee being disposed between said first green and said second green, said additional tee being disposed on a side of said first green opposite said second green so that play from said additional tee to said second green requires the player to shoot over said first green.  
     
     
       2. The golf course defined in  claim 1  wherein said fairway is the only fairway of said golf course and accommodates more than two holes of a golf game. 
     
     
       3. The golf course defined in  claim 1  wherein said tees further include: 
       a fifth tee disposed approximately at said first end of said fairway for play onto said fairway towards said third green; and  
       a sixth tee disposed approximately at said second end of said fairway for play onto said fairway towards said third green.  
     
     
       4. The golf course defined in  claim 3  wherein said tees additionally include: 
       a seventh tee disposed approximately at said second end of said fairway for play onto said fairway towards said first green, said seventh tee being sufficiently spaced from and differently positioned with respect to said second tee to provide the player with a different hole from said second end of said fairway to said first green.  
     
     
       5. The golf course defined in  claim 4  further comprising a hazard disposed in said fairway for dividing said fairway into substantially parallel portions each extending the length of said fairway, said first tee and said second tee being disposed for play onto one of said portions of said fairway, said seventh tee and said additional tee being disposed for play onto the other of said portions of said fairway, said third green being disposed along one of said parallel portions of said fairway. 
     
     
       6. The golf course defined in  claim 1  further comprising a hazard disposed in said fairway for dividing said fairway into substantially parallel portions each extending the length of said fairway, said third green being disposed along one of said parallel portions of said fairway. 
     
     
       7. The golf course defined in  claim 1  wherein said fairway is the only fairway of the golf course. 
     
     
       8. A golf course comprising: 
       a fairway having a first end and a second end;  
       a plurality of greens disposed at mutually spaced locations along said fairway for play from said fairway, said greens being fewer in number than nine, said plurality of greens including a first green disposed at said first end of said fairway for play from said fairway, said plurality of greens further including a second green disposed at said second end of said fairway for play from said fairway; and  
       a plurality of tees disposed at a plurality of different locations in effective proximity to said fairway to enable play onto said fairway towards respective ones of said first green and said second green, said tees including a first tee and a second tee disposed proximate to said first green for play onto said fairway towards said second green, said second tee being sufficiently spaced from and so positioned relative to said first tee that play from said second tee to said second green constitutes a hole different from a hole extending from the first tee to said second green, said tees further including a third tee disposed at said second end of said fairway for play onto said fairway towards said first green,  
       said first tee being disposed proximate to said first end of said fairway on a front or forward side of said first green, said second tee being disposed at said first end of said fairway on a rear side of said first green, away from said second green.  
     
     
       9. The golf course defined in  claim 8  wherein said second tee is positioned to require play over said first green.
